A low cost mechanism that may be used to extend Ethernet capability to low end devices provides sufficient capacity to support Ethernet communications using only a single twisted pair medium. Because only a single twisted pair is used, the overall cost, complexity and size associated with the integrating Ethernet functionality into an end device is reduced. A distributed power system delivers power to a Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) device over the single twisted pair medium. With such an arrangement, Ethernet capability and power may be simultaneously delivered to low end devices at a reduced cost.

The present invention is directed towards systems and methods for enhanced marketing responsive to customer path data between attractions. A first device receives an identification of a location of a user and a first attraction selected for access by a user. A path analyzer of the device determines a travel path between the location of the user and the first attraction. The path analyzer identifies a second attraction within a predetermined distance from the travel path. The first device transmits, to a computing device of the user, an offer of access to the second attraction.

The present inventive device provides a new method of real-time, interactive, competitive, live on-line auction using an animated auctioneer. The animated auctioneer initiates the auction, actively solicits bids from the auction participants, acknowledges bids input from auction participants, and moves to close the auction when there is a cessation in bidding. In the course of the auction, the auctioneer audibly and physically promotes the item up for bid, and entices the participants to bid. Participants input bids real-time, competitively and successively in response to the animated auctioneer's solicitations.

A bipolar transistor structure for use in integrated circuits where the active device is processed on the sidewall of an n-hill so that the surface footprint does not depend on the desired area of active device region (emitter area). This structure, which is referred to as a Horizontal Current Bipolar Transistor (HCBT), consumes a smaller area of chip surface than conventional devices, thereby enabling higher packing density of devices and/or the reduction of integrated circuit die size. The device is fabricated with a single polysilicon layer, without an epitaxial process, without demanding trench isolation technology, and with reduced thermal budget. Fabrication requires fewer etching processes and thermal oxidations than in conventional devices.
